Where to get parts for my old Honda

    Afternoon folks,

    After a fairly thorough look under / into my car (I put it on a friends ramp) I discovered that a number of parts have issues...

    From what I can tell i need to replace the following

    Brake servo - seems to be an air leak at the bottom of the seal.
    CV joint - at the very least the front right rubber covering thing is fecked..
    Brake calliper pin bushing torn which lead to a sticking brake pad - originally i just intended to replace pads but found this in the process

    There was also a bit of an oil leak but not sure if this was because of a loose oil filter which is now tightened or a crack in the sump somewhere

    Just wondering if anybody knows where to get these parts at a reasonable price? Also is replacing a CV joint something that can be tackled outside of a garage? I have access to a ramp but dont know if this job requires specialist tools.

    Before i forget the car is a 96 Honda Civic MK 5 1.4L (EJ9).

    Ive sent an email out to a motor factors earlier but dont know where any breakers are around Dublin and not sure i wanna go down this route unless it saves a fortune.

    As you can imagine i dont want to spend a fortune on such an old car so also considering if this fix is worthwhile.

    Thanks

    Brake servo - dont know what you mean by bottom of the seal.
    CV joint - the covering thing is called the cv boot and can be replaced separately to the joint.
    Brake caliper pin bushing - i presume you mean the caliper slider protective boot which can be bought separately. remove the slider completely, clean and grease up and refit with new rubber boot.
    Oil leak - tighten oil filter, was engine and check in a day or two where the leak is.

    no 'specialist tools' needed for any of the jobs but an understanding of what your doing so you dont leave the car in a dangerous way.
